Your Mystery and Thriller Book Bargains for February 19, 2026

Former New York book editor Libby Page returns to Southport, North Carolina, for a fresh start with Page’s Bookshop. But during her grand opening celebration, a local resident collapses dead in Libby’s garden—and her dream business is instantly tied to murder.

With customers fleeing and gossip spreading fast, Libby teams up with her sharp-witted assistant Gracie Jean (and one opinionated calico kitten) to find the killer. The victim left behind more than questions: a missing red notebook packed with secrets someone would kill to keep buried.

Between a relentless blogger, a garden party full of suspects and Detective Carter McCrae warning Libby to stay out of it, Libby realizes solving this case may be the only way to save her bookshop.

Settle in with Stacked in Suspicion—book one in the Cape Fear Bookshop Mysteries, where the books are beloved, the clues run deep and trouble has a habit of showing up uninvited.
